Why do you think the SO answer is right and the docs are wrong? Maybe the parser is just missing a user error. My own feeling is that any use of "=" as an assignment operator is too much.

By the way, the SO answer is wrong about the history of this. It says that this message: https://developer.r-project.org/equalAssign.html is the "original explanation by John Chambers", but in fact John committed the text that is still present in the docs several months earlier, to both the `?assign` help page (rev 15467, 2001-08-13) and to the equalAssign.html document on developer.r-project.org (rev 608, same day).
